For wholesale and OEM/ODM eyewear programs, Hongtu Eyewear supplies Combo Glasses designed with more than one material or distinct component within the same frame. This construction is used to combine different front-frame and temple treatments, giving optical collections more options in shape, color, surface finish and frame detailing.
Combo Glasses are frames that combine different materials, components or finishing treatments in one pair of glasses. Instead of using the same construction across the front and temples, the frame can use different materials or design elements in separate areas.
In practical terms, the front may use one material while the temples use another, or a molded frame can be combined with metal parts, decorative elements or different surface treatments. The exact construction varies by model.
The main feature is the combination of different frame components. This allows the front and temples to have different visual or structural characteristics instead of following one uniform construction.
The front and temples can be developed with different colors, materials or finishes. This is useful for styles where the side profile needs to look different from the front without changing the entire frame shape.
Metal components can be added to selected areas of a combo frame for hinges, temple decoration or other structural details. These details can create contrast against molded or transparent frame sections.
Because different frame sections can be treated separately, combo designs can use contrasting or coordinated colors on the front, temples and decorative components. This gives more flexibility when developing several colorways from one model.
The combination approach can be applied to square, rectangular, rounded, cat-eye and other frame silhouettes. The front shape and the material combination can therefore be considered separately during product development.
A single-material frame has a relatively consistent appearance from front to temple. A combo frame gives the manufacturer more control over individual sections of the product. This is particularly useful when the design requires a contrast between the front and side profile.
For example, a transparent or molded front can be paired with a different temple finish, while a simple frame shape can be given more detail through metal components. The result comes from the construction itself rather than relying only on an unusual frame outline.
Combo Glasses can be used for prescription optical frames, fashion eyewear and private-label collections. The construction is suitable when a product needs more visible differentiation between the front and temples.
For everyday optical collections, restrained material combinations can be used with square or rectangular front shapes. For fashion-oriented products, stronger color contrast, transparent sections or metal details can be used to make the frame more distinctive.
The category can also be used when one collection needs several related styles. Different front shapes or color combinations can be developed while keeping a similar construction concept.
Front and temple colors can be specified separately to build contrasting or coordinated colorways.
Different front and temple materials can be combined within one frame according to the model.
Logo treatment, temple decoration and metal details can be developed to brand requirements.
Lens configuration can be reviewed together with the frame construction for prescription use.
Packaging can be customized to match the collection and market positioning.
Development can start from existing models, samples or drawings according to specified requirements.
Combo frames are suitable for customized development because different parts of the frame can be considered separately. Depending on the model, OEM and ODM projects can involve frame colors, material combinations, logo treatment, temple details, lenses and packaging.
Hongtu Eyewear can develop products from existing models, samples or drawings according to the specified requirements. For a new project, the material arrangement, front shape, temple construction and decorative details can be reviewed together before production.

For combo-frame development, this material range is useful because the product may require different construction methods within the same frame. Customers can discuss the combination of front-frame material, temple material, metal details, colors and other specifications according to the model.
Hongtu has more than 15 years of experience in the eyewear industry, with a production base of approximately 5,000 square meters, four professional production lines and annual output approaching 2 million pieces. OEM and ODM development is available for overseas eyewear programs.
When comparing combo frames, check the material used for the front and temples separately rather than looking only at the overall frame material. The hinge structure, temple construction, frame thickness, color combination and decorative parts can all affect the final product.
For wholesale collections, the most useful comparison is usually between models with different combinations of front shape, temple treatment and color. This makes it easier to select products that have clear differences without introducing completely unrelated frame styles.
Combo refers to a frame that combines different materials, components or finishing treatments within the same pair of glasses. The actual combination depends on the individual model.
They can be. Some models use different materials for the front and temples, while others combine a main frame material with metal or other separate components. The exact construction should be checked for each model.
Yes. Combo frames can be used for prescription eyewear when the frame dimensions and construction are suitable for the required lens configuration.
That is one common construction, but not the only one. A combo frame may also combine one main frame material with separate metal or decorative components.
Depending on the model, the material arrangement, frame colors, temple colors and other details can be discussed for OEM and ODM development. Existing samples or drawings can also be used as a reference.
Yes. Hongtu Eyewear is a manufacturer in Taizhou, Zhejiang, China, with experience in different eyewear materials and frame constructions, and supports OEM and ODM product development.
